If the atrocious illiteracy of the average Internet commenter has ever driven you to anger, frustration, or violent homicidal thoughts, you'll love this series of Internet CAPTCHAs, created by Matthew Baldwin. By requiring you to discern from various sets of simple but somehow commonly mistaken words just to be allowed online, these CAPTCHAs would rapidly rid the web of phrases like "Your an idiot" and "I'm definately getting Nickelback tickets." We dream of a day when this Internet entrance exam is mandatory, creating a grammatically sound, idiot-free online experience for the four of us who actually pass it. Below are several of the other word options you might encounter when taking it, followed by the screen that greets you if you fail.

Their really needs to be better grammer and speling on the intranet. A lot of bloggers should of payed more attention to English studys in school. Its annoying to see so many loosers post without considering the affect of such poorly crafted phraseing. Spell chezch is you're friend. And never post when your durnk.

[glock rocks]

Methinks we have a lot more important things to be concerned about than following correct internet grammar protocol

Considering a large percent of recent Americans graduated from a socialist government school system, I'm surprised they can spell or use grammar correctly at all, but at least they know how to put a condom on a banana and understand why gay sex is really, really cool /S
